Training

"Faster" Stefan yelled into the blond's face.

Caroline looked around at her surroundings. She was in the woods. The fucken woods. Never in her life would she voluntarily go into woods just to run around like an idiot. No. There had to boys or booze. One or the other, but both was preferable.

Caroline wanted to stop. She was exhausted and more to the point she was starving. She shook her head and made a motion to leave.

Caroline heard the irritation running through every pour of Stefan's body. She turned around and met his gaze. His eyes turned a deep shade of red and with all the strength he could muster, Stefan shoved Caroline back.

She landed on her ass about 50 feet away from him, but she quickly stood up.

"Attack me" He only shouted slightly.

She was running faster than she had all day. Avoiding the trees as best she could. She still was not as graceful as Stefan. The branches would sometimes whip her arm. Leaving two inched marks that healed slower and slower. Caroline would lose a little blood each time too. Making her weaker and weaker each time it happened.

As soon as she would get close to Stefan, he would be clear across the other side of the woods. It was leaving her frustrated and angry. Caroline knew she needed to change her tactics if she wanted to go home and finally feed on something. Anything.

She jumped high into the air; into one of the surrounding trees and she just listened. Honing in her new and improved hearing skills. Caroline couldn't hear him make a move, but she felt his presence. Her new instincts were kicking in. She knew he was a couple yards behind her.

Caroline could hear the subtle sound of Stefan stepping on some leaves.

Stefan looked around, wondering if Caroline had left him here in the woods. She had the attention span of a small child at times, so it wouldn't be much of a surprise if she had.

Without warning Stefan found himself with his back down on the ground. Caroline was straddling him, eyes red, and fangs extracted.

"That's for being a big jerk today" Her fangs went away and her eyes went to their normal shade of blue.

"It was training" Stefan could easily roll her over, but he decided to let her have this moment. "You need to be safe. You need to protect yourself when I am not there"

"Well, I think that I handle myself pretty damn well for being a 2 year old vampire. What do you think?"

He was about to argue with her. Tell her that an enemy won't take it easy on her. He wanted to tell her that she gets herself too distracted. But he didn't. Instead he looked into her blue orbs and said, "I think you are right"

He could tell she was weak. They spent all day training, and had very little blood. It was time to get home and feed. Though he opted for his diet of animals, Caroline wanted the real stuff. So he had a cooler full of blood packs from the hospital.

"Let's get home" He resigned

"YES! 'Bout damn time" She giggled.

They started to walk off, hand in hand, back to the cabin. "Oh and Stefan"

"Yes, Caroline?"

"Next time you take me out into the woods. At least bring a damn wine cooler. Kay?"

"Deal" He laughed.
